Victor
The king as we call him! Although he is a Heinz 57, we can certainly see German Shepherd and Greyhound in his genetic makeup.
He was found with his sisters; Luna and Gracie, at the side of a busy road at 4 months old. No mum in sight. Victor has a burn mark under his right eye, frequent practice in Romania to provoke aggression in potential guard dogs. They were picked up and taken to the rescue. They were covered in fleas, lice, and ticks, with stomachs full of worms.
We have worked through lots of behaviours with Victor; human aggression, resource guarding, traffic reactivity resulting in redirection on to us as well as a high prey drive. He is now a simply incredible stooge dog. Calm balanced and neutral but when it is time, friendly to all dogs and their owners. He is the first dog I will use in my sessions.
A few things Victor loves: sleeping, the pub and walks in the woods.
Luna
Luna is Victor’s sister. She is an incredibly loving dog and a true wiggler. Head to butt wiggles can be expected for those she knows! Her behavioural issues were minor in comparison to Victor but included resource guarding and some dog reactivity. She is a wonderful stooge dog to have in sessions providing a different energy to Victor and therefore different. She has a different energy to Victor which provides clients and their dogs with a new challenge.
A few things Luna loves; playing chase with the other two, exploring and (trying to) hunt in long grass and affection.
